Areas of Research
There are several fields researched by CSAR. Physical simulations are implemented in CSAR's Rocstar software suite.
- Fluids and combustion - The study of how a rocket's fuels are ignited and directed in such a way as to provide thrust.
- Multiphase Flow
- Turbulence Modeling
- Multiscale Acceleration (via "time zooming")
- Propellant Morphology/characterization
- Propellant combustion modeling
- Structures and Materials - Analysis of the physical structure of a rocket
- Constitutive and damage modeling
- Crack propagation
- Multiscale materials modeling
- Molecular modeling of material interfaces
- Space-time discontinuous Galerkin Methods
- Computer Science - Development of advanced simulation and visualization tools
- Parallel programming environments
- Parallel I/O
- Parallel performance modeling and prediction
- Meshing
- Hybrid geometric/topological mesh partitioner
- Visualization
- System Integration - Bringing the available tools and resources together in an efficient manner
- Object-oriented integration framework
- Flexible parallel orchestration
- Stable component coupling and time-stepping
- Accurate and conservative data transfer based on common refinement
- Stable and efficient surface propagation
- Uncertainty Quantification - Determining accuracy and confidence in simulation results
- Clustering techniques for sampling-based Uncertainty Quantification

Famous quotes containing the words areas of, areas and/or research:
“Adults understandably assume that the level of verbal proficiency a five-year-old displays represents his level of proficiency in all areas of functioning—if he talks like an adult, he must think and feel like one. However, five-year-olds,... belie the promise of adult-like behavior with their child-like, impulsive actions.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“The planet on which we live is poorly organized, many areas are overpopulated, others are reserved for a few, technology’s potential is only in part realized, and most people are starving.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a woman want?””
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
